Polly - there may well be some reason for Richard Farmer scepticism about the degree of media coverage engendered by the Lapthornes in Croatia. If Australian Story is there filming the tragedy it does raise the question of how much is genuine analysis of the situation and how much is confected rage.

Who are you Chris Hunter who wrote ” I served in Vietnam as a regular, albeit without so much as a brain in my head, but I also served with conscripts whose hearts were simply not in the job. They hated being there and their one aim was to get home alive — they shared none of the sentiments of their supreme commanders, who were fundamentally devoid of human emotions” This is so much Bull Sh*t. Who are you Chris Hunter? When and where did you serve in Vietnam. Who were you attached to? I would have a rough guess 1ALSG at Vungers getting a suntan and who did not know too many Nashos or Regs who served in the Arms side of the Task Force.Do you have a book and are looking for a bit of publicity?
